What all calibers use Hodgdon CFEBLK ?

[GetReal]

I've had good luck with 300BLK and 300 HAM'R.

But it meters, so well and so consistently on my Dillon,.550C, I'm wondering what all other calibers I could mass produce.

Thx.

Outside of similar wild cats, there are a few pistol cartridges Hodgdon list as well.

• 357 Remington Maximum
• 460 S&W MAGNUM
• 500 S&W Magnum

It is my go-to powder for 7.62X39.

You know now that we're talking cartridges, not calibers. Words have meanings.

Thx, all. I may have to add some "cartridges."

Add 20 Vartarg!

50 Beowulf also

I thought it was designed for 223, and it's not even listed.

I think it was designed for the 300 Blackout- BLK
CFE223 is the one for 223's

It does very well with the 6.8spc bullets under 100gr. Most people use it or H4198, so maybe look at what's using 4198 and you'll get an idea.

When I'm looking at how to use a newer powder, if it's hodgdon, I'll go to the website, select the powder, then go through the rounds listed, just to get a rough idea of case capacity and uses.

Shoots great in my 300BLK

Im having good results with 101 gr Hammer bullets..2500 fps from a 14.5" p & w 28.6 gr of CFEBLK.

Sub moa from an AR15 platform.

It does pretty decent in my 277 wolverines

Or anything else in rl7 / 1680 category.

Those cartridges really close to needing slow burning pistol powders.some do that are mentioned

While at my local gun shop, the owner asked if I wanted to buy all his CFEBLK at cost. He said nobody wanted it and it was taking up shelf space. I walked out with 6 pounds for cheap. I have a couple guns in 7.62x39.

I use it in my 300 Hamr but I freaking hate the stuff and wish there was a better option. Stuff has the consistency of sugar sand and makes a huge mess out of my reloading bench.

Meters beautifully and super consistently out of my Dillon hopper on my XL650 300blk toolhead....

I only use it with 220smk for my 300blk subs....I use H110 for my 300blk supers

Initially I bought it for 300BO, but it underperformed for both supers and subs compared to H110 and N110,

A few years ago I put together a 300HAMR. CFEBLK is the preferred powder for the 300HAMR.
